Why a Comprehensive History Matters

Fertility isn’t just about sperm, it’s a reflection of your overall health. That’s why we start by taking a detailed medical, sexual, and lifestyle history. Issues like past infections, injuries, or hormone imbalances can affect sperm production and quality. Research also shows that male infertility can be an early indicator of broader health concerns such as cardiovascular or metabolic conditions.

What’s Included in a Male Fertility History

 We take a respectful, thorough approach to learning your full story:


Lifestyle & Medical Management


  • Lifestyle Modifications: Guidance rooted in current research on modifiable factors affecting male fertility.
  • Medications: Tailored hormonal therapies that drive a patient to produce more of his own testosterone to optimize sperm production naturally.
  • Fertility-Specific Supplements: Evidence-based guidance on supplements such as CoQ10, L-carnitine, zinc, and antioxidants.
  • Post-Testosterone Fertility Restoration: Comprehensive management for men seeking fertility after anabolic or testosterone use.

The Physical Exam

 Our genitourinary-focused physical exam checks for:


  • Varicocele (enlargement of veins: a common, reversible cause of infertility)
  • Testicular size and consistency
  • Signs of ductal obstruction
  • Other anatomical or hormonal clues

This in-person exam is discreet, professional, and conducted in a private setting.
